THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR AND OSCILLATION FOR A CLASS OF THIRD-ORDER NONLINEAR DELAY DYNAMIC EQUATIONS

In this paper,we consider a class of third-order nonlinear delay dynamic equations.First,we establish a Kiguradze-type lemma and some useful estimates.Second,we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of eventually positive solutions having upper bounds and tending to zero.Third,we obtain new oscillation criteria by employing the Potzsche chain rule.Then,using the generalized Riccati transformation technique and averaging method,we establish the Philos-type oscillation criteria.Surprisingly,the integral value of the Philos-type oscillation criteria,which guarantees that all unbounded solutions oscillate,is greater than θ_(4)(t_(1),T).The results of Theorem 3.5 and Remark 3.6 are novel.Finally,we offer four examples to illustrate our results.

AN OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR SECOND ORDERFUNCTIONAL EQUATIONS

This paper is concerned with the oscillation of second order linear functional equations of the form x(g(t)) = p(t)x(t) + Q(t)X(g(2)(t)), Where p, Q, g : [t(0), infinity) --> R+ = [0, infinity) are given real valued functions such that g(t) not equivalent to t, lim(t-->infinity) g(t) = infinity. It is proved here that when 0 less than or equal to m := lim inf(t-->infinity) Q(t)P(g(t)) less than or equal to 1/4 all solutions of this equation oscillate if the condition lim(t-->infinity) sup Q(t)P(g(t)) > (1 + root1 -4m/2)(2) (*) is satisfied. It should be emphasized that the condition (*) can not be improved in some sense.

A large-range convergence iterative method for solving a nonlinear functional equation

The existence and representation of the exact solution are given for a nonlinear functional equation in the reproducing kernel space. For a numerical computation, we present a large-range convergence iterative method for solving the nonlinear functional equation. In the iterative method, the convergent condition is simple and the convergence is irrespective to the choice of the initial function. It is worthy to note that the presented method can be generalized to solve other nonlinear operator equations.
